All experts are adamant that the pandemic of Covid-19 affected the real estate market increasing the interest in spacious homes. Of course, for a significant amount of our clients, a good investment remains the smaller apartment, which they can wisely furnish and call home.
Certainly, one of the most important decisions for them remains how to organize the space and how to choose the type of furniture they will rely on.
The trend of furniture oriented to smaller spaces is more and more popular in recent years because this type of interior design provides many opportunities for practical solutions combined with a creative approach. Increasingly popular are also companies such as Milano Smart Living, which specialize in the manufacture and distribution of "smart" furniture that looks good and saves space.
Folding sofa
Of course, sofa beds are an absolute classic home item and have been part of our lifestyle for decades, but in small homes, they are more than just a comfortable spare bed for our guests. It’s not uncommon for this furniture to act as a bed at night, as well as a place for dining and other daily activities during the day. The most convenient option for small apartments is sofas, which have additional storage space, which can store various household items.
Sleeping space
There are many of us who need their place to relax to bring the feeling of a real bedroom but do not have the opportunity to separate it from the rest of the home. The most innovative solution, in this case, is a kind of multifunctional box, which simultaneously acts as a sleeping space, wardrobe, shoe closet, computer storage space, and other equipment and fits in one corner of a larger room. If you want to save space for the youngest members of the family, you can add to the classic bunk bed or combine your bed with a work desk.
Portable, modern and convenient
Undoubtedly one of the most important factors for utilizing the square footage of each type of apartment is the size of the furniture and its flexibility. A compact sofa can find a place in front of the TV, next to the bed, or under the window, and a small folding coffee table can be turned into a TV stand, computer, bedside lamp, and a corner for the ladies' morning toilet. A clean wooden table can fit in one corner of the room and gather the family for dinner, as well as to serve as a place to welcome guests.
Little tricks
Another way to make the most of the space of your small apartment is to invest in one or more library cabinets. It is good for their construction to rely on more height and width than depth - so you can arrange all the necessary household items and enjoy a sense of freedom and comfort. The built-in or wall-mounted TV set is an excellent solution for your small home, although in our country we are used to seeing such positioning mostly in restaurants. Another "trick" that interior designers use to get the most out of the limited space of a small apartment is the use of transparent and light-reflecting surfaces. Smoky glass furniture, transparent doors, and a stylish terracotta floor will reveal the true potential of your home.
